This episode covers the Origins of Life from the Bible and from the psuedo-scientific point of view. There is a difference between SCIENCE which is evidenced based, empirical data, that can be observed, tested, repeated, and PROVEN; and psuedoscience. Psuedoscience is: a collection of beliefs or practices mistakenly regarded as being based on the scientific method. I would add that it is built on hopes and faith and then given to paid actors (via grants, donations, and endowments) like teachers unions, media, and government; who share their faith publicly with a sprinkling of scientific terms to make it sound legit. This episode exposes that fake science when it comes to the origins of the first life on planet Earth. #originsofLife, #Creation, #RNA, #FirstCell, #LifeonEarth, #Science, #Evolution --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pastorsteven153/support

Montreal professor Joseph Schwarcz doesn't actually have a medical degree, but that hasn't stopped him from becoming a popular public figure in the Canadian media landscape as a reliable face of science. Schwarcz, 76, actually has a doctorate in chemistry from McGill University, where he has been based for more than four decades. In that time, he's hosted a long-running weekly science radio show, penned a newspaper column for the Montreal Gazette, starred in YouTube videos and written over a dozen books on making science accessible to mainstream readers. Recently, McGill held an anniversary celebration to mark Schwarcz's 25 years as director of the university's Office for Science and Society.

During the cold war, the CIA was obsessed with mind-control. There vision was creating a something like a Cylon from Battlestar Galactica. And so, they began a division called the MK-ULTRA, within MK-ULTRA, they conducted many gruesome experiments on human beings around the world. Some of it came to light during the church hearings. Some of it came to light because of diligent researchers who use the freedom of information act, and others through leaks. We still don’t know the breadth and depth of the project. But, Kit Klarenberg discovered two of the most gruesome projects: one in Denmark and the other in West Germany. In Denmark, they took young orphans and subjected them to torture-like tactics to see how they would react. In West Germany, the project was much darker and much more cruel. Doctor Helmut Kentler thought it would be a good idea to put orphans under the care of pedophiles and this project went on for nearly 30 years.

Get ready to question everything from where the Statue of Liberty is actually located to the spelling of the popular children’s series, the Berenstain Bears. YEP. THAT ISN’T A TYPO. People are legit trying to convince us that the BerenSTEIN Bears never existed and it’s been BerenSTAIN the entire time. We’re not buying it, and we’re not the only ones. The Mandela Effect has people recalling brands completely differently and has hundreds of thousands of people remembering Sinbad in a movie that allegedly was never made.

In this episode, Shana and Daniel barely even bother to talk about plot and story, so fascinated were they by the gender issues in the most recent two-part story of Series 9: The Girl Who Died/The Woman Who Lived. Is Ashildur genderqueer? Is Clara queer? Are the Mire 'roid-ragers? Is Leando an abusive boyfriend? Also alternative masculinity as portrayed by the Doctor and by the perhaps-appropriately-named Sam Swift the Quick. It's probably more fun than it sounds.  Main Topic: The Girl Who Died/The Woman Who Lived. Daniel shouldn't ruin Queen. Shana took notes. If you thought you were political before.... Did you like these? Silly tone with a core of darkness. Ash/Me. One story or two? A J.D. Salinger reference. "Arthouse films from before 1994." A Phil Sandifer reference. Shana might get bitchy about pronouns. A reading from Jack Graham. Maisie Williams. Defining some terms. The danger of being publicly queer. Moving into the episodes. The safety of the closet. Sexualized by the Doctor and Clara. The only thing Steven Moffat had to say about this. The Mire. Testosterone. Psuedoscience. "Trust me, it's unbearable." Taking over a village with a yo-yo and big bad masculinity. Web Developers. "There's gonna be a Big Finish in twenty years...." Babies. White Knight Doctor. Making Ashildr immortal. Never read any feminist literature. Orlando. Severance. Knightmare. Misnaming people. Sam Swift the Quick. We are all in drag. Performativity. Heart turned to rust. Dying children. Savior complex. Too like Missy? Hadn't invented cunnilingus. Sam Swift's masculinity. Dirty Dad Jokes. Self-hating Doctor. Abusive relationships. Brawndo? Me's turn to being a "good person." Longer-form stories in Series 9. Tenth Doctor stories. Moffat feels less involved. Fanfic. Next week: Warrior's Gate.

Inspired by the acclaimed book by Harvard historian Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway, Merchants of Doubt is a satiric yet serious examination into the heart of conjuring American spin. Filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the curtain on a secretive group of charismatic pundits-for-hire and pseudo-scientists, paid for by multinational energy businesses, who present themselves in the media as scientific authorities -- yet have the contrary aim of spreading maximum confusion about well-studied threats ranging from smoking and toxic chemicals to pharmaceuticals and, in recent years, climate change. By fabricating false arguments, they work to muddle the scientific debate on global warming to slow the cause of progress and defer public action for as long as possible. Join New America NYC and the Environmental Defense Fund for a screening of Merchants of Doubt, followed by a conversation with leaders in the science, environmental, and media communication fields to discuss the state of our environment in the era of polarized politics.
